LAN and a mainframe. In Internet terminology, a gateway is another name for a router. Generally 

a gateway is used as a funnel for all traffic to the Internet. 

Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers 

An integrated wireless and wired LAN is called an infrastructure configuration. Infrastructure is 

applicable on an enterprise scale for wireless access to a central database, or wireless 

application for mobile workers. 

The FCC and their counterparts outside of the U.S. have set aside bandwidth for unlicensed use 

in the so-called ISM (Industrial, Scientific and Medical) band. Spectrum in the vicinity of 2.4 GHz, 

in particular, is being made available worldwide. This presents a truly revolutionary opportunity to 

place convenient high speed wireless capabilities in the hands of users around the globe. 

Local Area Network. A LAN is a group of computers, each equipped with the appropriate network 

adapter connected by cable/air that share applications, data, and peripherals. All connections are 

made via cable or wireless media, but a LAN does not use telephone services. It typically spans a 

single building or campus. 

 

A network is a system of computers that is connected. Data, .les, and messages can be 

transmitted over this network. Networks may be local or wide area networks. 

A protocol is a standardized set of rules that specify how a communication is to take place, 

including the format, timing, sequencing and/ or error checking. 

Service Set Identifier. A network ID unique to a network. Only clients and access points that 

share the same SSID are able to communicate with each other. This string is case-sensitive. 

Simple Network Management Protocol is the network management protocol of TCP/IP. In SNMP, 

agents-which can be hardware as well as software-monitor the activity in the various devices on 

the network and report to the network console workstation. Control information about each device 

is maintained in a structure known as a management information block. 

A method of assigning IP addresses to clients on the network. In networks with static IP address, 

the network administrator manually assigns an IP address to each computer. Once a static IP
